Internationality

International activities of DIPF and its links at European level

DIPF actively conducts internationally networked educational research. To this end, it co-operates with supranational organisations and partners in other countries. Research and analyses of the scientists on topics such as national school quality, educational governance and science infrastructure provide a sound foundation for the international comparability of the German education system.

International Co-operation in Education

Since 2006, the office for International Cooperation in Education (ice) at DIPF has supported educational researchers in Germany in conducting internationalization tasks. Its portfolio comprises counselling for individual research groups, information on EU funding opportunities and a regular organization of workshops to train young researchers in English language publishing activities.

Research stays

DIPF supports and requests its scientists to spend a period of time at a co-operating research institution abroad. Financial support is available to doctoral students from DIPF for a host period of up to three months, (regulations issued by the German Research Foundation, DFG). Furthermore, DIPF regularly welcomes visiting researchers at the Institute.

Information services with an international focus

The German Education Server hosts an edited English language website for its international visitors, eduserver, which presens news from the German education system ranging from early childhood education to higher education.

Education worldwideoffers information on pedagogical innovations and topics from education systems all over the world – interesting for anyone concerned with international comparisons or for users showing an interest in approaches taken by European education systems.
